I tried fairtex shin guards but bought the wrong size so they were too big, nonetheless, I didn't like the way the foot plate stuck out flat. I recently purchased a pair of Sandee and the foot is curved so that it fits better. I've only ever tried these two since they are a fairly expensive piece of kit but I can thoroughly recommend the sandee ones for thai or kickboxing (never tried mma sparring with them on)

The best moment of my life was being punched in the face by Liam Harrison.

I have fairtex ones, the padding is great on the shins but as earlier stated, the foot is a bit too flat and I also found that it "dug in" where it joins the bottom of the shin part. Just have to wear anklets to counter act that.

For Thai shin pads over the years i used Fairtex, Twins, Blitz and now the latest one Top King and i think the last one is the best its snug great protection and they don't slide about, Twins shins a close second.

For MMA i only had Rogue shins and thought they were great they lasted 4 years of use, only recently fall apart.
